12 oz. bottle poured into a Burley Oak snifter
A: Nearly transparent hay color that pours a thick-ish head that rapidly depletes. No lacing and only a bit of a collar.
S: Crisp malt and hops that betray just a hint of wateriness. Characteristic session IPA smell with hints of a clean lager.
T: Good level of hoppiness that just floats above being watery. Definitely up there for a session IPA, but this is a one and done.
M: Light fizzle of carbonation that just slightly hides the wateriness.
O: Surprising that they did this style for their anniversary beer, especially since most anniversary beers seem to sit on the shelves, but perhaps that is because they are usually in bombers.

Lemons!! Huge scent of lemons when I whiffed this.Taste, undertones of orange peel and floral. A light,golden session ale. Nice body for the style. Leans towards bitter,though, not overwhelmingly. A fine specimen, tasty and enjoyable.

Appearance: Light semi-cloudy golden, with a nice head of white suds. Spotty lace.
Aroma: Crisp citrus hops. Orange is most prominent with this outdated bottled (past the “best by” date by 2 whole months). Really impressive.
Taste: Crisp and orange-citrusy again, with a pleasant (if not too complex) hop character. Actually a delicious session IPA. Would love to try one fresher one day!

7/31....City Tap House in Phila, PA. Pours very light gold, almost clear. Light foam. Strong pine grassy nose. Citrus taste pops right away. Clean and light IPA. Very good.

It pours a golden yellow color, but is a bit cloudy. The head doesn’t last that long. It has an aroma of citrus, and a bit of bread. It has a citrus flavor with grass flavors. It is moderately bitter.
